Teaching Science in Prison The K12 Engineering Education Podcast

Science education occurs in juvenile detention centers, as part of the schooling
available to young people there so that they can receive their high school
equivalency certification. Guests Rachel and Kasina talk about their experiences
teaching science and other subjects to boys and young men in these institutions.
They describe the constraints and opportunities in these classrooms and how they
compare to schools on the outside. Related to this episode: • Dialectical
